eToro
was founded in 2006 by three young professionals who were eager to
challenge the common ways in which the foreign exchange market
functioned.

In order to
provide services to the growing retail sector of the Forex community.
eToro invented and designed a visual trading platform that is easy to
understand and easy to use. eToro wanted to establish a new platform
in which traders as well non-traders can take advantage of the large
foreign exchange market and in doing so we challenged the common
belief that the foreign exchange market needs to belong only an
exclusive few. The overall entertaining tools that eToro uses in order
to provide our users with the most inclusive trading experience allow
everyone to experiment, learn, and excel in trading strategies.

It is clear
that eToro has succeeded in redefining financial trading; ever since
eToro’s establishment, trading has become user-friendly, fun and
engaging.

At eToro,
dedicated programmers, Internet experts, designers and many other
specialists are working day and night to guarantee that our customers
will be more than pleased. And indeed, since its release on September
1st, 2007, eToro has quickly developed a worldwide reputation as the
most intuitive trading platform available. People from nearly every
country visit and trade on eToro, and eToro is partnering with several
Forex companies worldwide that wish to offer the eToro trading
experience to their customers.
